17. Our Furbabies

This is our fraidy-cat, Tigger. It's an old picture, from the 2004 election season when Security Moms and Security Dads and Security Anythings were everywhere. She prefers to keep to herself and stays in the basement office areas. She's about 15 and losing weight, but doing okay.


This is Murray, aka "The Mayor," Tigger's brother from a subsequent litter, so he's about 15, too. He's a weird one -- he used to get on top of doors and not jump down even when we try to close them; once he got under a glass top table and tried to jump up; that could explain his other oddities, such as falling asleep in this position (a one-time event)...


This is our Border Collie (mix) Doovy, the alpha -- must have been right after a grooming because she's usually so wildly fluffy, she comes in with twigs and leaves stuck to her (Stinky calls her "Velcro Dog&quot . She was found emaciated and near death. StinkyJr1 inherited her from a girlfriend, but his various living situations caused her to stay with us temporarily several times, at increasing lengths, and eventually we just adopted her permanently. She is the dog that made me like dogs. Sweet, super-smart, and scared of nothing -- except thunderstorms. We think she's about 10, but it's hard to know. Lately she's lost some weight so we're watching that with the vet.


This is our GSD Molly, fetching what she considers a stick. She's fearsome-looking but an absolute kitten. Similar to Doovy, StinkyJr2 inherited her from a friend who couldn't keep her, she had to stay with us a few times, then when he couldn't take her back we kept her. She's very lean with long, long legs. She is about six or so.


And this is Asia, my BABY!! (I say that because it makes Stinky crazy.) She too is a rescue, but I actually got to pick her! She's a Shih-Tzu. She's adorable, hilarious, and bosses the German Shepherd. The challenge is to keep her hair out of her face and to keep her weight down!! She's not quite two.
